After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America and cooking in the restaurant industry, last week I started a new endeavor at IU where I've transferred to major in business. As a native East-Coaster, I was clueless that the cicada epidemic was coming.

Tightening their belts

By Holy Johnson · Sunday, May 16,2004 10:21 p.m.

Elephants. That's the term longtime arts lover Hillard Trubitt uses to refer to the aging segment of Bloomingtonians supportive of a local, non-University affiliated classical music scene. They're retired IU professors, philanthropists with large pockets willing to quietly encourage, both practically and fiscally, a volunteer regiment of Bloomington musicians. They've been the lifeblood, it seems, for the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra, which for more than three decades, has filled local auditoriums with a shimmering flute descant or the richly-colored stroke of a cellist's bow.

'Frasier' comes to an end

By Alyson Brodsy and Lynn Elber · Wednesday, May 12,2004 9:46 p.m.

LOS ANGELES -- When the blue-collar barroom comedy "Cheers" ended its run in 1993, it managed the neat trick of turning beer into champagne. "Frasier," the "Cheers" spinoff about psychiatrist Frasier Crane and his dysfunctional family, became its own vintage blend of sparkling wit and dependably funny highbrow neuroses.
